Which one does /vp/ prefer? SWSH seem like it'll be the first type. I guess it makes sense to go this way with other players' avatar roaming the Wild Area.

I prefer the first kind, discussion gets confusing otherwise. Like during XY "haha you broke Serena's spirit!", "no you retard, the one who got crushed was Calem", "not canon", "you're not canon" and so on and so forth. I think it's better if only "you" exist.

I prefer the third one, but I would rather have each option showing up at their exlusive home with their own family members instead of switching places completely to make it less confusing.

it was glaring, though

who are they, where'd they come from? how do they have competitive pokemon sets and are a trainer who keeps up with the champion but haven't been heard of before? why didn't they return in bw2 (if you picked the other gender)?

Third one, it gives the protagonists an indisputably canon name, and so far every protagonist with a rival role has been underwhelming.

There should be a 4th where the other gender is also your other rival (one who picks a starter that is weak against your starter)

I like "Other Gender is a non-rival character". I think that one worked best. Making them the rival is fine too, they just made May/Brendan too wussy, I think they didn't even fully evolve their starter originally?

Any of the options that involve the other character appearing are good.
In the last one I wish Gen 5 characters appeared more often or were your friends/acquitances, and I wish Gen 4 character was an option in multis.

Second, they have more of an active role in the story, for better or for worst. Really don't like third where they just disappear in the second half or just become cameos.

But if they appear as an NPC then they're not the protagonist. They're a completely different character, in extreme cases not even being born in the same region.
The Hoenn protagonist who is the child of Norman and from Johto =/= Brendan/May, child of Birch and Hoenn native.
The third option makes the least sense and is kind of creepy.

I prefer it when the other character doesn't exist. They still don't have a personality so we might as well get a different character as a rival.

First type. It makes your choice feel more meaningful if it’s the only one that exists in the game.

How so? The only depressing part is when they leave because they need "to spend some time alone withtheir team", and after that they gain a new purpose and a renewed spirit.

Not him, and I haven’t played X in a while, but I remember them taking their losses really poorly after the first couple. The other rivals either accept their loss, brush it off, or hide their feelings, but they really take them to heart. I can’t blame them either—
>they’re the only one in their group of friends to really care about battling
>probably always assumed they’d be the leader when they and the group start their journey
>the day they finally get a pokemon, some new kid shows up and does everything better than they could ever hope to
But like I said it’s been a while, and that’s just the impression I got.

First option sucks because it basically leaves the PCs nameless, stirring up retarded Bulbapedo-like debates.

The other options are both okay, though I prefer the BW way of things (not Unovabortion, though), as it's the least pervasive. Also, OGPC was a shitty rival, both in RSE (only slightly better in ORAS) and XY.

Which ever option allows for all 3 starter pokemon to be picked.

My level of autism is feeling sad at the 3rd pokeball just sitting there for the rest of the story. I'm cool with the 3rd starter being used by the professor like in gen 7 though.
